It actually gives me hope.

If MTG can do it, the rest of them can too.

Thanks! Will do.

…and apparently that time is now.

Got the iso and gonna try it out.

Old friend and colleague was a huge fan and a FreeBSD contributor.

On my todo list and I’ll give it a spin at some point.

Sure why not. That’s a lot closer than most people get, if you exclude everything that actually runs Linux that no one realizes and assumes it’s all Windows.

Hehe

One of the few popular distros I’ve actually never tried.

Good point. It’s only ever kept me out of nightclubs - exclusive and inclusive.

That seems unusually long. What sort of instability were you seeing?

Canonical Ubuntu LTS is stable for me as long as I limit my use of snap.

You can claim Linux cred with any distro.

Ah, yeah. There’s a steep learning curve with gimp, but I also only use it for very basic stuff.

Agreed, but this is also why I prefer Ubuntu LTS releases for work and Linux Mint for personal stuff. I like some stability.

What happened? Not a good experience?

Linux Mint is my favorite and then Fedora.

The opinion is significant, #legal experts said, because it appears to justify an open-ended war against a secret list of groups, giving the president power to designate drug traffickers as enemy combatants and have them summarily killed without legal review. www.cnn.com/2025/10/06/p...

Two meetings. Brutal.

I don’t know how he does it.

Early voting is underway for Prop 50 in California.

I urge anyone in the state to vote yes.

This isn’t a race to the bottom. It’s a means of avoiding the bottom. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/what-blue-states-should-do-when-red

She’s been very about exactly when she wants to be sworn in. So this is happening tomorrow?

That’s a win-win in my book.

2 birds, 1 stone.

It's been two weeks since Adelita Grijalva was elected and Mike Johnson has still refused to seat her, unlike in past cases where he swore in new members within 24 hours.

There cannot be one set of rules for Rs and another for Ds.

Also, release the damn Epstein files already.

And SCOTUS

The only Representatives breaking with the Republican Party on anything right now is MTG, Boebert, Mace, and Massie.

The question I keep asking myself though is why the other 217 Republican Representatives aren’t doing the same. How sane can they really be at this point?

I always had the impression we were - that our anti-business, anti-free-market reputation was a myth and a result of Fox News propaganda.

We just also happen to be for sensible regulation…or at least I am, but I don’t consider that as being uncomfortable with the free market.

Grijalva: The frustration for me is that it seems as if Speaker Johnson is not willing to swear me in because our politics are a little different, or because I’m going to be the 218th signer—he can just continue to drag this along with no end in sight.

That is not a foundation of our democracy.

Remember, it was the Washington Post who gave Bondi a thumbs up to be confirmed. Democracy Docket made clear from day one that she was an election denying sycophant.

No surprise at their coverage of today. Support independent, pro-democracy media today. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

He could, but he’s too arrogant to believe he can learn anything from anyone else.

Laura Rodriguez, on Twitter: A federal agent points a weapon at a woman who was recording them. Jess, a U.S. citizen and member of a neighborhood patrol team that documents and shares ICE activity across the city, was filming when the incident occurred earlier today in the Berwyn area.

I fear if things don’t change right now, this image is going to come back to haunt us

Pam Bondi’s defensive attacks against Senate Democrats questioning her was not the flex she thinks it was. All it did was vividly point out how she has abandoned Justice Dept. independence to serve the desires of her authoritarian boss.
